We are dependent. The more dependent we are, the more humane we become. Responsibility for our own actions strengthens as Nature takes its course, and interdependence takes on new forms. We are now beginning to worry about this planet, and can we still depend on it to feed us all? Methinks we should be worried!

‘We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.’ ‘Progress is impossible without change,and those who cannotchange their minds cannot change anything.’
George Bernard Shaw.Methinks he is right!

The accuracy of any idea can only be shown by its duplication by another mind, however its construction changes. Its validity will only be disseminated through its useful acceptance universally. It in effect cannot be contained by any one person, that would be a nonsense.

The consciousness of a general idea has a certain “unity of the ego” in it, which is identical when it passes from one mind to another. It is, therefore, quite analogous to a person, and indeed, a person is only a particular kind of general idea.Charles Sanders Peirce, “Man’s Glassy Essence” in The Monist, Vol. III, No. 1 (October 1892)
